Come To The Edge
Dealing With The Shadows Of The Past - Part I
‘Come to the edge,’ He said.
They said: ‘We are afraid.’
‘Come to the edge,’ He said.
They came . . .
He pushed them . . .
And they flew.
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 – 1918
French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist and art critic
Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It’s too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came.
And we pushed.
And they flew.
Christopher Logue 1926 – 2011
English poet associated with the British Poetry Revival
